At this time, we’re keeping the spaces limited to 8 people (not including the facilitators) due to the room size and the nature of what we’re doing. This ensures a quality experience for everyone. <h4>Last few words on donations:</h4>Participation in our community-led events is often on a voluntary ‘by donation’ basis. This means that nobody is expected to make a payment if they cannot afford to do so. However, any donations received for the Chronic Pain Support Group will be passed on to The Salisbury Centre and Facilitator, helping to make the events’ programme sustainable.Where a “suggested donation” is listed, this is just an indication of what the event might cost if it was ticketed – it is fine to donate less (or nothing at all). Donating is one way to show your appreciation for the value of the Salisbury Centre. Please consider ‘paying it forward’ by donating a bit extra if you can afford, helping to keep it possible for everyone to take part, regardless of their circumstances.Suggested donation for this event is £5 - 10.
